Reinforced concrete is not elastic and has a compressive strength that is much higher than its tensile strength.

In seismic regions, column ties are heavier and much more closely spaced than ties in nonseismic regions.

Determine the required splice length for the uncoated longitudinal bars in the following tied column made of lightweight concrete. Assume that some of the longitudinal bars are in tension and that the connection should be designed as a Class B contact lap splice.
